My street is narrow, cracked, and boring and has no sidewalk.
Like all the streets in our small moshav on the hill.
No one of the poor new immigrants who started the village had a car back then in 1949.
Today it is a tight squeeze when cars meet the infrequent bus; often one of them has to pull over or even back up.
Once in a great while horseback riders come clip-clopping down the street, who knows from where.
The best thing about my street is the view from it.
Look out across the valley and see Jerusalem on the horizon!
Look in every direction and see the forested Jerusalem Hills.

UPDATE: I added some links if you want to see more in and around the village.

Very rustic, but lots of character and it must be a very interesting place to live.
ReplyDeleteMuch better than the wide streets we have in Los Angeles with the tall, overloaded, horrible wooden electric pools.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the view from here at night looking out across Jerusalem would be spectacular.
ReplyDeleteNot boring, but charming and it leads to beautiful places:-)
ReplyDeleteShalom friends!
ReplyDeleteJo, "rustic," I almost forgot that word. It's good here. :)
Nadege, my son lives in L.A. but I never understand how, why.
Dianne, so true. Before going to bed I always look out my window and see the edge of the city's lights twinkling on the horizon and I say "good night Jerusalem."
No matter how many problems we have, this looking at Jerusalem makes it all worthwhile. What a blessing to be near her.
Spiderdama, yes, true, the beautiful places are a short walk away. You know.
I love your street Dina.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the moshav keeps all its trees, the area will remain restful and green. I always feel desperate for trees in the centre of Jerusalem.
ReplyDeleteAww thanks, Mark.
ReplyDeleteHelen, the state makes it illegal to cut down a mature tree without official permission. We have plenty of trees in the village.
How peaceful.
ReplyDeleteRemember having learned, that the one climbing the mountain, has a right to continue to drive, while the other waits.
Please have a good new month ahead.
Robert, in theory, yes.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very green there, lots of trees :) You inspired me to post a photo of my street too.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sweet street. Home should be sweet.
ReplyDeleteKind of sweet.

It reminds me of another street I once lived on, I like it. I'm sure you must get such lovely views of Jerusalem.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun meme. I love looking at your street and imagining you walking down to see that lovely view.
ReplyDeleteWith views like that, I wouldn't mind walking in your narrow streets at all.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well, Dina. Been praying a lot for all of you.
Friends, thanks for coming to my street. :)
ReplyDeleteKay, I don't even have to leave the house to see Jerusalem across the valley. See the night scene here:

Hilly places seem to often contend with streets that crack and curve and are narrow. It allows people the chance to practice be kind to one another to give way so that both may progress. It's like that on many streets here in Seattle, and also in Berkeley where we used to live. I love your night view of Jerusalem from your home. What a sight!

I enjoyed your words even more than you picture... and what a view!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see your street.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to spend some time taking in the long 'view'.
ReplyDeleteA street with a view of the most famous city in the world is boring? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteThat is a street with a lot of history - my street is here.
ReplyDeleteit may be boring to you but i find it quite pretty! very charming little road :)
ReplyDeleteYour street is not boring at all! Not for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my mum's birthday! Shabbat Shalom( a bit late, I am afraid.)
A street with a wonderful view is never boring! I have a view of mountains from my home; it fills my soul continually. I'm sure your view of Jerusalem does the same.
ReplyDeleteAhhh... I see what you mean. What a wonderful place you're living in.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Dina. The street theme is so much fun and your view is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteWe may need you to vouch for us. For some reason ours isn't posted yet! Hopefully we're not rejected after our four year effort!
Shalom!

Familiar and ordinary to you is exotic and amazing for me! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCalm and beautiful views are much more worth than a "perfect" road with sidewalk.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day, Dina!
What a wonderful contribution to Theme Day from you Dina. Terrific photo that makes me feel like I am looking through a window on to your street.
